"I have often thought that a reflective traveller, passing through the countries of this world, and observing the race of Israel in every land, might be led to guess, merely from the light of his natural reason, that that singular people are preserved for some great purpose in the world. There is a singular fitness in the Jew to be the missionary of the world. They have not that peculiar attachment to home and country, which we have. They feel that they are outcasts in every land. They are also inured to every clime; they are to be found amid the snows of Russia, and beneath the burning sun of Hindustan. They are also, in some measure, acquainted with all the languages of the world, and yet have one common language-the holy tongue, in which to communicate with one another. All these things must, I should think, suggest themselves to every intelligent traveller as he passes through other lands. But what says the Word of God?
Zechariah 8:13 "And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Isarel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong."
To this day they are a curse among the nations, by their unbelief-by their covetousness; but the time is coming when they shall be as great a blessing as they have been a curse." AMEN! (Let it be done)
